    Looks like they've got their beta testers already working:

    "if you have the Isaac iOS beta, there was an update last night. Go forth and test"

    Seems like a good sign to me that they're already pushing updates to the beta, I'm hoping we'll the final release in November sometime :D

    I don't think that anyone that asked when he put up the request got a beta key. For the moment it was just a tease.

    Maybe I'm reading to much into it, but could the 28 lives be a clue for the release date (11/28)? They've been known to play with us like that + it seems pretty random to post a screenshot like that. Other previews have been early game shots, not late game with a lot of items.

    1) good pickup
    2) but I count 12 hearts and see the 28 followed by a question mark. Unfortunately that could mean 12/28?
    3) I haven't really played the game so don't know what's normal but that question mark and the 28 seem a little strange.

    Okay, now I'm like 99% sure the release date is 12/28, because:

    1. The hearts: It's somewhat difficult to get 12 red hearts, considering there are other forms of HP that are better to use. It would probably have to be intentional.

    2. The 28 lives: There's a few items that give +1 life, and one item that gives +9. Tyrone would have most certainly had to specifically try to get the lives counter that high. In fact, I think 28 lives might be the highest amount of lives I've ever seen in a playthrough.

    3. The question mark after the lives: There's an item that gives you a 50% chance to revive when you die. It also puts a question mark after your lives counter to let you know you may have more lives or not depending on the 50% chance. Again, getting this item along with the other things in this screenshot would pretty much have to be done intentionally.

    My best guess: Tyrone is shooting for a 12/28 release date, but it may change, that's why the question mark is there.

    Or this could all just be wild speculation with no basis in reality :p

    App Store is closed 12/28

    If it's a clue at all it's probably mean 11/28

    I think it means that they're shooting for 12/27, but it's subject to change. It's pretty obvious that the items that gave him 27+?(=28?) lives are 3xDead Cat(9 lives each) and 1 Guppy's Collar.
    What this means in-game is that you get 27 guaranteed lives and then a random number of extra lives afterwards. (50% chance each)

    These guys are definitely not most devs lol. They did an ARG for a Binding of Isaac DLC, and I'll just let it speak for itself:
